技术领域technical field

This development makes the surface of the wafer unable to provide enough area to make the required interconnection.
为了满足元件缩小后的互连线需求,两层及两层以上的多层金属互连线的设计成为超大规模集成电路技术所通常采用的一种方法。目前,不同金属层或者金属层与衬底中的器件之间的导通,是通过金属层与金属层之间或者金属层与衬底之间的介质层中的导电插塞来实现的。In order to meet the requirements of interconnect lines after shrinking components, the design of multi-layer metal interconnect lines with two or more layers has become a method commonly used in VLSI technology. At present, the conduction between different metal layers or between the metal layers and the devices in the substrate is realized through conductive plugs in the dielectric layer between the metal layers and the metal layers or between the metal layers and the substrate.
目前通过选择性钨生长工艺制成的导电插塞能够有效的增大导电插塞的体积,进而增大导电插塞底部的接触面积,以此实现减小接触电阻的目的。At present, the conductive plug made by the selective tungsten growth process can effectively increase the volume of the conductive plug, thereby increasing the contact area of the bottom of the conductive plug, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the contact resistance.
然而,现有技术中采用选择性钨生长工艺制成的导电插塞性能有待提高。However, the performance of the conductive plug made by the selective tungsten growth process in the prior art needs to be improved.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
正如背景技术所述,现有技术中采用选择性钨生长工艺制成的导电插塞性能有待提高。以下将结合附图进行具体说明。As mentioned in the background art, the performance of the conductive plug made by the selective tungsten growth process in the prior art needs to be improved. The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
请参考图1,提供衬底,所述衬底包括基底100以及位于所述基底100上的器件结构101;在所述器件结构101上形成导电层102;在所述衬底上形成介质层103,所述介质层103覆盖所述器件结构101和所述导电层102;在所述介质层103内形成导电开口104,所述导电开口104暴露出所述导电层102的部分顶部表面。Referring to FIG. 1, a substrate is provided, the substrate includes a
请参考图2,在所述导电开口104内和所述介质层103的顶部表面形成初始导电插塞(未图示);对所述初始导电插塞进行平坦化处理,直至暴露出所述介质层103的顶部表面为止,形成导电插塞105。Referring to FIG. 2, initial conductive plugs (not shown) are formed in the
在本实施例中,通过金属钨的选择性生长形成所述初始导电插塞,然而,由于钨仅能够在金属表面上进行生长,因此形成的初始导电插塞与所述导电开口104的侧壁之间的结合性并不是很好,使得初始导电插塞与所述导电开口的侧壁之间存在缝隙,在对所述初始导电插塞进行平化学机械掩膜的坦化的过程中,所使用的研磨碱性溶液会顺着所述导电开口104的侧壁流向所述导电层102,进而对所述导电层102造成一定的损伤,使得所述导电层102与所述导电插塞105的接触性降低,甚至会造成导电插塞105与所述导电层102完全不接触的问题(如图2中A部分所示),进而使得最终形成的半导体结构的性能降低。In this embodiment, the initial conductive plug is formed by selective growth of metal tungsten. However, since tungsten can only grow on the metal surface, the formed initial conductive plug is connected to the sidewall of the
在此基础上,本发明提供一种半导体结构及其形成方法,通过在所述第一膜层内形成第二开口,所述第二开口的侧壁相对于所述第一开口的侧壁凹陷。在后续通过平坦化处理形成所述导电插塞的过程中,能够有效增加平坦化处理溶液的流经路径,进而减小平坦化处理溶液对所述导电层的刻蚀损伤;另外,由于所述第二开口的侧壁相对于所述第一开口的侧壁凹陷,使得所述导电插塞在所述第二开口内的生长受到限制,进而使得所述导电插塞在所述第二开口形成的结构更为致密,进一步的减小平坦化处理溶液流向所述导电层,进而减小了平坦化处理溶液对所述导电层的刻蚀损伤。On this basis, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. By forming a second opening in the first film layer, the sidewall of the second opening is recessed relative to the sidewall of the first opening. . In the subsequent process of forming the conductive plug through the planarization treatment, the flow path of the planarization treatment solution can be effectively increased, thereby reducing the etching damage to the conductive layer caused by the planarization treatment solution; The sidewall of the second opening is recessed relative to the sidewall of the first opening, so that the growth of the conductive plug in the second opening is limited, so that the conductive plug is formed in the second opening The structure is more compact, which further reduces the flow of the planarization treatment solution to the conductive layer, thereby reducing the etching damage of the planarization treatment solution to the conductive layer.
